Joseph Robert Binzer (born April 26, 1955) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Ohio, from 2011 to 2020.

Binzer resigned as auxiliary bishop of Cincinnati in 2020 after a Vatican investigation concluded that he mishandled sexual abuse allegations against clergy.

He then worked for eleven years as a certified public accountant with Crowe, Chizek & Co. in South Bend, Indiana, and with Arthur Young & Co. in Cincinnati.

[3] After returning to Cincinnati, Binzer served as a resident associate at St. Bartholomew Parish in Finneytown, Ohio and as a member of the archdiocesan tribunal.

According to several parishioners at St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish in Liberty Township, Ohio, Drew had been giving bear hugs, shoulder massages, and leg pats to teenage boys.

[6][9] That same month, Binzer resigned from the Child and Youth Protection Committee for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

[13][10] Binzer issued a public apology that said he had tendered his resignation after a Vatican investigation concluded that his handling of Drew's case had "a negative impact on the trust and faith" of the people of the archdiocese.
